BEHIND THE SCENES - From Blueprints to the AM24 F1 Model

When you pick up a building brick, you might wonder: what kind of process turns these small pieces into a thrilling race car? Today, we take you behind the scenes of the Nifeliz AM24 Racing Car building set—more than a technical challenge, it's a journey where designer Leon continually pushed the limits of his craft.

It all starts with a sketch. In Leon's design approach, the first step is always to hand-draw the layout and dimensions of each component. He knows that the structure of an F1 car is vastly different from a standard sports car, and maintaining extreme precision from the very beginning is crucial. Every line drawn is part of his careful control over proportions. This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about faithfully reproducing the seamless fusion of art and engineering found in the original car. "Every millimeter counts," he often says. This attention to detail stems from his deep respect for the car's design, as if he's reconstructing the framework of the real vehicle. To Leon, it's more than just a model—it's a tribute to the car it represents.

As the design process continued, the unique features of the AM24 posed new challenges. The aerodynamic qualities of an F1 car completely overturned traditional design logic. Elements like the Venturi chassis, streamlined front and rear wings, and engine cover required Leon to find innovative solutions within the confines of building bricks. "An F1 car is a world of its own," he remarked. Through countless trials and adjustments, Leon sought ways to capture the car's unique dynamics and details with different combinations of parts. Every small adjustment was not just about replicating the form but also conveying the sense of speed and mechanical design that defines this car.

If the body structure was a tough challenge, then the car's curves became Leon's most difficult artistic hurdle. The smooth and distinctive lines of an F1 car presented a complex and subtle task. Simple straight edges and angles couldn't express the car's grace and motion, and Leon had to find a new way to ensure the model was both accurate and captured the aerodynamic elegance of the original. After countless attempts, he finally succeeded by skillfully combining Technic and brick parts to recreate the beauty of the car's curves.

Perhaps most impressive is the model's suspension system. For an F1 car, suspension is critical to handling performance. In the model, how could Leon design a suspension system that retained functionality without compromising the car's sleek appearance? Traditional spring components, though functional, often disrupted the fluid lines of the car. Leon wasn't satisfied with this; he found a way to hide the spring components, ensuring both flexibility and an uninterrupted appearance. He believed that "thinking outside the box" was key. In the end, the clever design allowed this race car to achieve a perfect balance between form and function.

The entire design process was not only a test of technical skill but also a relentless pursuit of detail. Leon drew on his experience and expertise, overcoming one design challenge after another. From the precise recreation of aerodynamic structures to the seamless integration of the suspension system, every detail was carefully refined. 

When the AM24 Racing Car building set finally comes to life in front of you, it's not just a model—it's the essence of the racing world brought vividly to life through the language of building bricks.

As you begin assembling this AM24 car, you'll discover that each carefully crafted detail is full of thought. Every brick is an exact expression of the real race car, and whether you're a LEGO enthusiast or a racing fan, this set will take you on a journey through the art of craftsmanship and innovation. Through every piece, you'll not only experience the joy of assembly but also sense the design wisdom and engineering beauty that lies behind it.
